Default Opening Day 1892



"Quail Hunting in the Stubble" Sporting Life Nov. 28, 1896 Wichita, KS - Never in the history of the Sunflower State have quail been so plentiful as during the present season. Myriads of the brown beauties swarm the broad prairies, and despite the stringent laws passed for their protection the market hunters are said to be slaughtering them by wholesale and shipping them to St. Louis, Chicago, New York and other large cities in barrel lots.





"Prairie Chicken Shooting in Kansas" from American Game-bird Shooting by George Bird Grinnell, 1910



1940s? Looks to be 5 brothers. Wonder who survived WWII?
